SAP Solution: TCO

The "RISE with SAP" program offers SAP user companies a solution for two elementary developments: the move to SAP S/4HANA and the move to the cloud.

With Cloud Platform Integration (SAP CPI), SAP provides middleware for integrating business applications on a common platform. This makes sense, but is not suitable for every SAP customer.

Anyone who has already familiarized themselves with the SAP Hana database and with the S/4 migration will notice that the SAP Basis infrastructure has become significantly more complex and resource-hungry.

As part of a close collaboration between IBM and SAP, these two global IT companies offer a solution that enables existing customers to leverage synergies and implement an environment that delivers maximum effectiveness and efficiency.

There seems to be no way around Ariba or S/4 Hana in SAP-based purchasing. However, there are attractive alternatives for responding to the requirements of digitization in the short term.
